Abstract

This study is motivated by the phenomenon about the rise of sexual digital crime for students in Indonesia. It is undeniable that not a few higher students in Indonesia experience sexual harassment through digital pages, either through WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or LINE. This is due to the increasingly free, uncontrolled use of social media and the lack of understanding of social media network users. Sexual digital crime has a very heavy impact on the mental health of victims, whether they are male or female, so that traumatic feelings always arise when they must meet new people in the real world or on social media. This is considered important to be studied more deeply to provide solutions to the problems that often give the students a feeling of trauma. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as observation, documentation, questionnaires and interviews with the research sample, namely higher education students in the city of Bandung. This research is expected to provide views to many parties, both the Indonesian government, Bandung city government, institutions, parents, and families that this problem is a substantial problem that must be solved and given a solution, so that there are no more victims of higher education students. And his mental health slumped, and his future could no longer be helped because he often received sexual crimes from his surroundings. The result of this research is that not every institute/campus that has a lot of students conduct an education to their students to prevent these sexual digital abuses to enlightenment thinking of their students even though there’s a lot of victims for this case who has a deep mental health such as depression, trauma, or even feel isolated to socialize with others.
